Chapter 1058: Ultimate Treasure

"OMG!!"

After reading the traitor's codex and Tao Xiang's notes, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu were simply stupid, and they all let out exclamations.

"How's it going?" I said, something big is going to happen, right?" Cui Lizhu pressed her chest, trying to ease her accelerated heartbeat, "My hunch...... How can it be so accurate? Boss...... I figured it all out now, my dad is doing a big deal in addition to stealing techniques!"

"That's right!" Zhao Yu sighed, "He really deserves to be the king of thieves......! This is the ultimate treasure, isn't it? But, I doubt it, even if he finds it, will he dare to swallow it?"

"I can't swallow it!" Cui Lizhu said, "I think that if my father really finds it, he may also hand it over to the state!

"Tut-tut......" Zhao Yu unconsciously glanced at the "Kundui" hexagram in his mind, and now he finally understands, how to explain this hexagram?

It turned out that in Tao Xiang's notebook, there was a major event about the earth-shattering treasure.

The occurrence of this major event originated from a theft by Tao Xiang thirty years ago.

At that time, he infiltrated a wealthy merchant and obtained a batch of valuable property, and among this wealth were many precious historical documents.

Tao Xiang was a man who was good at business research, and in order to determine the value of these manuscripts and see how much they could be sold, he began to study them one by one and interpret them carefully. Who knows, as his research deepened, a torture codex from the Republic of China period gradually came into his sight.

Through repeated identification, Tao Xiang confirmed that the torture codex was a top-secret document from within the military command. The Codex records part of the interrogation of a traitor named Liu Dianchen by the military commanders.

Recall that year, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the military command executed a large number of traitors and traitors. According to Liu Dianchen's level, there is still a big gap with those extraordinarily big traitors. Therefore, the value of this codex is clearly not satisfactory.

However, what makes Tao Xiang strange is that in this record of interrogating Liu Dianchen, the main content of the interrogator's interrogation is not what Liu Dianchen did to betray the country or how he became a traitor, but has always revolved around a batch of mysterious gold and treasures.

Looking at the meaning on the codex, it should be that this traitor has participated in some actions of the Japanese, or knows some secret of the Japanese, and the military command wants to investigate this secret clearly. And Liu Dianchen has also been actively cooperating with the investigation, and has also drawn many sketches.

However, it was confirmed through the content at the end of the codex that the military commander still failed to do so at the end of the interrogation, so he had to secretly execute Liu Dianchen!

Tao Xiang's mind was delicate, and he instinctively realized that the value of this codex might be far beyond his imagination! Therefore, he spent a lot of time and energy to delve into the relevant content.

Later, through a large amount of information he investigated, and then linked to the content of the codex, Tao Xiang became more and more shocked, and a shocking treasure that had not yet been discovered gradually became clear in front of his eyes.

If you want to understand the whole incident, you need to go back to the distant period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. At that time, the Japanese occupied Northeast China and established a puppet Manchurian regime, which they used to contain the Soviet Union on the one hand, and on the other hand, they tried in vain to annex the whole of China.

Because they were too far away from the Japanese mainland, they formulated an evil policy of feeding the war by war, using China's resources to serve their war effort.

Therefore, during the more than 10 years of occupation of Northeast China, they gradually amassed a batch of unimaginably large wealth through oppression and exploitation, looted people's treasures, and used this wealth to make weapons and form an army.

However, their wolf ambitions were eventually shattered with the Hiroshima atomic bomb. In 1945, Japan was defeated, announced its unconditional surrender, and the army withdrew in a hurry.

Due to the suddenness of the defeat and the intervention of the Soviets, the Japanese simply did not have time to transfer the huge number of treasures left behind in the northeast.

Although some of them were found after the Republic of China government took over, their quantity was far from enough, and a considerable part of the treasures had disappeared.

As a result, some people say that the remaining treasures have been secretly transported back to China by the Japanese, and there is also a theory that the Japanese high-level officials have hidden the remaining treasures in a secret base in order to use them when they make a comeback and return to China in the future!

For a long time, there has been no agreement between the official and the private sector about these two statements, and it is impossible to be sure.

However, the torture codex obtained by Tao Xiang very clearly shows that this treasure that was quietly buried by Japan does exist!

And the person who can prove this is the big traitor Liu Dianchen!

At that time, Liu Dianchen was the director of the construction department of the puppet Manchurian government, and because he was involved in many military construction issues, he had contacts with several units of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and even had contacts at the top level.

During the interrogation, Liu Dianchen had confirmed that at the end of the war, when the senior Japanese military officials were at a meeting, he had clearly heard them talk about what treasure plan they had talked about outside the conference room.

Later, through many inquiries, he also learned from some secret sources that due to the urgency of time, the Japanese army did not have time to rebuild the treasure place, so they hid things in a place similar to the Hormozhin fortress.

Hormozhin Fortress, also known as Katsuyama Fortress, is a huge military project established by the Japanese border garrison in the northeast region after the 918 Incident. They hollowed out the mountain and built large military fortresses with powerful combat supplies, as well as military headquarters and war rooms, batteries, and more.

What's even more odious is that in order to prevent the secret of building the fortress from leaking out, they captured a large number of Chinese from other places and let these Chinese who were not familiar with the local environment to build the project. And after the construction was completed, they brutally shot the migrant workers on the spot! This is how the local "Thousand Graves" came about.

Of course, Katsuyama was not the only fortress built by the Japanese in the Kanto region. Others, such as Dongning Fortress, Tiger Head Fortress, etc., each of them are much larger than Shengshan Fortress.

According to Liu Dianchen's confession, he said that the Japanese buried those treasures in one of the secret fortresses, which may not be the largest, but it is definitely the most secret!

He also said that in order to keep this big secret, the Japanese must have also adopted a policy of killing people and exterminating their mouths, and they should have secretly disposed of all the people involved in the transportation of treasures as soon as possible. As for the location of the fortress, only those officers with higher ranks would know.

On the codex, Liu Dianchen clearly wrote the names of high-ranking Japanese officials who might have known the secret. However, through Tao Xiang's later notes, the names of these high-ranking Japanese officials were either false or had died in the middle of the evacuation.

Moreover, Tao Xiang also heard a bad news through many investigations. It is said that the high-ranking Japanese military officers who participated in the treasure hunting operation also appeared to have been assassinated after returning home or on the way home.

I don't know, this is some kind of coincidence, or if it is an instruction from the highest Japanese authorities, they would rather kill their own officers than leak the secret of the treasure!
